MongoDB comes under the type of NoSQL databases. Now the question arise What is this NoSQL? lets keep it simple we can say NoSQL can be seen as something non relational database (though someone can argue that we can design relational database with NoSQL).

But anyway talking about MongoDB, so MongoDB is the leading NoSQL database till this date.

Its a Document-oriented database

It stores document in BSON format

Its written in C++

Its cross-platform

It has 32bit and 64bit but 64bit is recommended, because of the limitation of 2Gb data size in 32bit

It has both open source and commercial License

It supports vast range of language; I use mostly C# driver for my work.
